| مستخلص: |
Excessive tooth erosion and resulting sensitivity and esthetic concerns are well-documented problems in patients with eating disorders. Several techniques for restoring lost tooth structure have been reported in the literature. However, the potential significant role of dental care in the comprehensive treatment of the chronically bulimic patient has received little attention. Integration and coordination of dental treatment with medico-psycho-social therapy of the bulimic patient may enhance the patient's success in combating this complex disorder. The key to proper dental management is a definitive approach to data collection and close coordination among all health care personnel providing primary health care therapy. A specific dental approach model is recommended in this report of a patient with a 15-year history of bulimia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
